"An immensely popular hipster taqueria with globally accented tacos, including wagyu brisket and tikka chicken."
"An ever-popular dining destination in Dallas' Knox-Henderson area, Velvet Taco is the spot for fusion-style tacos wrapped in homemade tortillas, house-roasted elote and margaritas."
"Nothing beats the Texas summer heat in Dallas better than a trip to the local taqueria. Velvet Taco is the perfect place to quench your thirst for fresh, handmade tacos and cool, refreshing summer beverages like margaritas and sangria."
"10 Unusual Tacos Redefining the Genre: Fried Paneer Taco at Velvet Taco (Dallas) - Fried cheese? Count us in. Rather than go with queso flameado, this spot transports us to India with indulgent cheese topped with tomato chutney, Thai basil, tikka sauce and raita crema on a flour tortilla."
"The best tacos in DFW: Velvet Taco has its share of offbeat fillings (shrimp and grits?), but it was on top of a trend with the raw ahi poke, often described as “Hawaiian sushi.”
"You can't go wrong with this cult taco joint whose following even includes several of Dallas' most renown chefs. Here, you can dig into around twenty different taco options, ranging from spicy chicken tikka and ahi poke tuna to Nashville hot tofu."
"Best Tacos: Cornmeal Fried Oyster, Velvet Taco - With a strategic combination of fluffy, cornmeal-dusted oysters, napa cabbage slaw, roasted-corn pico, rémoulade, and chile butter in a handmade hibiscus tortilla, it is a well-balanced taco that even a traditionalist can admire. Of course, if it’s unbridled experimentation you crave, Velvet Taco is happy to oblige with its WTF (Weekly Taco Features) menu, which has been known to highlight scrapple, fried green tomatoes, and rice noodle salad."
"The enthusiasm at Velvet Taco is much more palpable, and it's stirred by quality ingredients that are hard to come by at this hour. Chickens spin like dancers on point in a fiery glass-front oven before their flesh is shredded and stuffed into freshly made corn tortillas."
"Take a stroll to Velvet Taco to indulge in some phenomenal catfish or buffalo chicken tacos."
"Best Tacos in Dallas: Velvet Taco - The tacos here are pretty darn good. They bear no resemblance to the modest street snack of Mexico. They’re gringo tacos, no question, with all the herbed goat cheese, pea tendrils, and ahi tuna a yuppie could desire."
